Wonderful stay

This was a perfect house for our family. There was ample space, a fully stocked kitchen, and responsive hosts. My kids loved playing in the pool (rain or shine). Close to the market and a few restaurants as well. Would stay again if we are in the area.

Perfect Uvita Spot

We loved the location of this home as it is convenient to the beach and adventures. Lots of good restaurants around but we took advantage of the nearby fish market to grill. The house was clean and comfortable and we found everything we needed for our week stay.

Easy walk to the beach!

The property was beautiful and very comfortable for two couples. The pool was fantastic. Great location with easy access to the beach and restaurants. The only draw back is you can hear the traffic from the main highway. Stephanie was amazing and made our stay even better - helping us with transportation, tours and massages! We would stay again! We love Uvita!

This is a fantastic house! We loved that we could walk to the beach, the grocery store and restaurants. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment, the house was clean, and we enjoyed the pool each afternoon, and all the birds that came through. We appreciated that there were kids toys for the pool, and kids toys and books in the twin bedroom. Communication with both the owner and the host was fast and responsive. Uvita itself is a beautiful place, and also a good launch point to get to other nearby destinations. I wish we had had more time to explore!We had a setback during our stay - the roof in the queen bedroom had a leak when it rained, which it did several times during our stay. So part of our group slept on the pull out couch in the living room which while an inconvenience was comfortable. Since we were there during a holiday weekend the roof was not able to get fixed during our stay, but we were satisfied with the responsiveness of both the host and the owner about the situation and the partial refund offered. Without that issue this house, the location, and the communication by the host and owner are all absolutely a 5/5 and so our rating reflects that!

A 7 minute walk to the beach was one of the best amenities. The beach is clean and big and there are lifeguards. I so appreciate they provided beach towels since we had to pack light for this trip. The kitchen was incredibly well-stocked and there were plenty of movies to watch on streaming for movie night. Communication could have been better - the house manager didn’t respond to a question we had till the next day, no local recommendations, and we received no information on check out so we just did what we thought they’d want us to do. My only complaints are with the primary bedroom. The bed in the primary bedroom is the hardest bed I have ever slept on. I woke up with hip and back pain every morning. If hard beds are your taste, you’re in luck! There is no door between the primary bathroom and bedroom. You will hear and smell your partner using the toilet and may accidentally walk in on them when you enter the room. Overall, we enjoyed this house and its location and would recommend to friends and family.

Perfect vacation rental in my favorite town in CR

We are a family of 4 that has done multiple month-long stays in vacation rentals. I speak from experience when I say that this is as close as you can get to a perfect vacation rental. Highlights include: - super clean - very responsive rental manager - has all the kitchen supplies you will need (we cooked a lot) - large fridge - air conditioning in each space keeps place cool - great internet - we had no issues with ants, spiders, roaches etc - great street with lots of nice homes. Not a busy street. - easy walk to the beach and to the grocery store - nearby Mexican restaurant has yummy food and great cocktails I love the town of Uvita too. The walking distance beach is really special and there are tons of nearby beaches to drive to and discover. There are quite a few good food options. I also love that there is food, excursions, and grocery stores that cater to tourists but there’s also a very obvious Costa Rican local culture that you can enjoy.

Amazing home! Great location! Excellent hosts!

If you’re on the fence about booking this home, don’t hesitate—just do it! Our family of 5 adults from ages 24-60 thoroughly enjoyed staying in the absolutely gorgeous, well-appointed, beautifully decorated and clean home! The hosts are very friendly and responsive, and Stephanie their local house manager and concierge is super nice, helpful, and very easy to communicate with! The location is perfect as it’s just a short 7-8 minute walk to the beach with a good Mexican restaurant and some cute “sodas” on the same street (be sure to get a smoothie!) The grocery store on the corner is a 5 minute walk, and since we rented a car at the Alamo right in Uvita, we were able to drive the nicely paved road to some great restaurants in Uvita and visit places like Quepos for a zip lining tour and Dominical for a wonderful jungle tour/hike to waterfalls (and great restaurants in Dominical—just a 25 minute drive!) The JungleATV tour in Uvita is a must and their office is just a 5 minute drive from the house. Back to the house—loved the location, but of course loved the gorgeous pool and yard, the kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfy—the house is truly a home away from home! We will most definitely stay in this home again when we return to Costa Rica! Thank you Robert, Rachael, and Stephanie!

Great place near the beach

Great house, 5 minute walk to the beach, although you have to pay an entrance fee as it’s a park entrance. House was sparkling clean and pool was great. House had a stocked kitchen, a ton of toys and books for the kids, and a huge supply of beach towels which was super handy. Only problem was the hot water. It broke completely the day we arrived and we were without hot water for 3 of our 4 day trip. The management company was very responsive, it just took a while as it happened over the weekend. Once it was fixed you still could only use one shower at a time (and no dishwasher) or else the breaker would trip and it would turn off. Pretty annoying for our family of 6. Also they had surf and boogie boards but we weren’t allowed to use them. Overall a great house, but until the hot water issue is fixed I think I would choose another location.

Thank you for your feedback. We have installed a new hot water tank that works perfectly! There are several surf shops near by with surf boards to rent. At the house we offer bicycle and ATV rentals.

Wonderful!!

We were so sad to leave this place! The house is just as pictured on the website, but even more beautiful in person. It was spotless, contemporary and so incredibly easy to live in and just enjoy. There were toys and books for the kids and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. Our kids loved spending the morning at the beach and then coming back to the house to spend the afternoon in the pool. It was pure relaxation. We enjoyed exploring the beach and found the path along the beach that connects playa Colonia to Playa Chaman was perfect (great spot for monkey watching). We walked over often to get ice cream, french fries and yummy pizzas and empanadas at El Hornito (about a 10-15 minute walk). We also ate at La Choza del Alejo about 5 times during our stay-super good Mexican food just around the corner. We did a couple of grocery shops at the BM on the highway, but also used the small supermarket between the house and the beach. While we were there, the large MaxiPali (like a Walmart) opened up down the road and that was also a short walk away for groceries. The house manager in town, Stephanie, was also great-she was always a text away and was there to answer any questions. Be sure to have lunch or a sunset dinner/cocktail at the Aracari restaurant-amazing ocean views just a 5 minute drive away from the house. Good food, too! Overall, our stay was excellent and we would love to return.

Great house, great layout, great location!

This house was incredible. The pictures are very accurate. The WIFI was the fastest I've ever encountered in Costa Rica. The location is super close to town, stores, dining, and walking distance to the beach. The area felt very safe and nothing went missing from the backyard (and we left alot of stuff back there). The property manager was very helpful in setting us up with a tour and responding to inquiries. The house was very well stocked with everything, from TONS of towels, quality pots and pans, toilet paper, spices, and just odd stuff you don't see in every house but is very much appreciated, such as a cooler. The only downsides (minor) are there was no major wildlife such as monkeys or coatis (the location is in the equivilant of a subdivision and 'in town'), and there are several vacant lots including next door, which when build on could disturb the peace and serenity of the amazing backyard (I would inquire prior to booking to ensure there is no active construction adjacent to the property).
